As a response to the growing domestic terror and violence seen over recent years, Plasan is launching a new variant of the SandCat Stormer for police and counter-terrorism units. It is fitted with Plasan's new Safe Crowd Attenuating Technology (SCAT) system to control crowds using non-lethal means and prevent civilian casualties. SCAT is a roof-mounted remote system with night and day cameras, light and sound dazzler, and smoke launchers.

The SandCat is designed to serve in various mission profiles requiring a highly maneuverable and protected vehicle, such as urban law enforcement or site security.

The Knoxville (Tenn.) Police Department has arrested a 19-year-old man after receiving complaints that he was impersonating a law enforcement officer. He was driving a decommissioned 2010 Ford Crown Victoria.
